 Switching Layers

Switches to a different layer.

While holding the [R1] button slide your finger vertically over the matrix to move the lit 

horizontal line to the desired layer.

and so on up to layer 16.

 Changing Tempo

Sets the playback tempo (BPM).

While holding the [R2] button slide your finger horizontally over the matrix to move the

+ LED Buttons:

 Changing the Layer Volume

Displays the individual volume settings of all 16 layers, and allows the volume of each layer 

to be adjusted as required to create the ideal “mix” between layers.

Each row of LED buttons corresponds to a layer, beginning with layer 01 at the bottom row. 

While holding the [R4] button slide your finger horizontally over the row corresponding to 

the layer you want to adjust to set the volume as required. Each LED button row corresponds 

to a layer (01—16 from bottom to top), and the horizontal axis corresponds to volume level 

with volume increasing towards the right (the leftmost setting corresponds to “0” volume).

You can also use the jog dial to set the overall (Master) volume (the Master volume setting will appear in the 
LCD display) (
